The Pink City- For the woman,Of the Woman,By the woman!!!

Male Chauvinists Beware!!!!!

Today's paper carried an article where it says that China has plans for a city where women will rule..... What If??? Just What if ...........................

With a Quivering Pen, A MAN puts down what we would expect from such a city...........

1. Every shop in the town would host a sale 365 days of the year. There is no credit limit. And oh, lots of dressing rooms! The best part? Every shopper is given one male to take with her, who marvels at each of her purchases with earnest interest and gives his honest opinion without ever getting bored.

2. Parallel parking? What parallel parking? All Rules Regarding the parking has been dropped. In case you bang into another vehicle, apologising with a sweet smile and a flutter of the eyelashes is seen as fair compensation.

3. Anyway, men don't need to travel. They'll barely have enough time from their household chores. The local trains in this town will therefore have just one coach in every train reserved for men… should be enough

4. All sports channels are banned. The television channels will have soaps, Desperate Housewives and a special 24-hour version of Oprah. All the theatres show only Julia Roberts' movies. The city library, named after Barbara Cartland, stocks only Mills and Boon, Bridget Jones' Diary and every Cosmopolitan published to date.

5. Salads, salads, salads! Everything is fatfree, carb-free and low-sugar. When you order here, you tell them how many calories you want and they'll make it accordingly. Mc-Donalds has come up with a special burger for this town Little Mac! So tiny, you don't know whether you ate it or inhaled it!

6. No one says the F-word. Oh wait, not the expletive, we meant the 3-letter one that rhymes with 'cat'---i.e. 'FAT'. Mentioning that word in a sentence that contains 'dress' and 'your behind' is punishable by death

7. Technology in women's world comes in 3 colours - pink, light pink or dark pink. To get rid of all ambiguity, every device has only 2 buttons – Yes or No. All phone calls are free

8.Toilet seats are permanently nailed in. If you gotta go, you had better be seated when you do

9.Immigration clearance is dependant on your knowing the difference between mauve and fuschia.

10. No male warrior adulation! The airport, the main railway terminal, the largest park and pretty much everything is named after Jhansi ki Rani or Helen of Troy

11. There is no religious discrimination in women's world. Gucci is God and everyone stands united under the one religion of fashion

12. All bar dancers are males. Bouncers won't be required. There'll be no pub brawls. If two women do get into a catfight, getting involved is crazy anyway.

The motto of the new town will be "women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women's requests." Now that should send shivers down the spines of every man who has sat in the passenger seat of a car driven by a woman.......

Wat say men ??????????

Cheating v/s Honesty

Another such incident which makes me believe in BEST people more thn private Autowalas [For those who dont know BEST is considered to be the lifeline of mumbai (Road Public Transport Service)]. While the BEST was on strike, The autowalas harassed the public even more. Imagine charging a fare of Rs. 150/- for a distance which is usually charged Rs 15/- (not kidding). I myself have experienced it.

Dunno why but offlate i have had bad incidents with the autowalas in mumbai.

Today morning, Whn i caught an auto for usual station, the Meter reading was minimum, and there was no chance tht it wud increase by a rupee. But the guy actually took 2 mins just to turn his back and take the money from my hand. After i got down, whn the auto wala gave me a tenner back i was like its only 9 Rs. how come u r taking 10. He said meter reading was 10... i was so infuriated wid him, and not only him this is the case with usually all the autowalas, they turn their back only after 2 mins so tht meanwhile one meter falls. arrggghhhhhhhhh Classic Cheating Case.

Same day, Bus Incident (Too many auto and bus incidents, I know):

I took my usual bus and took the ticket (fare of which is Rs 8/-). Gave a Tenner to the conductor, and just walked off ahead after takign the ticket, forgetting to collect the change of Rs 2/-.I was surprised when, after some time in the crowded bus, the conducter nudged me and said 'madam , yeh lijiye aapke 2 Rs. aap bhul gayi lena'.

Not That the 2 Rs. Mattered to me or him. He could have very well kept the change and probably even i wudnt have even asked him, but appreciate his honesty.

What a Difference.... one person cheats to get one rupee, and other person takes the pain of returning 2 Rs.

Now say.... are Autowalas kind and nice or are BEST people??

Few days back I would have preferred Autowalas, but the way incident have been in last few days.... i would prefer BEST.

Rude v/s Kind !!!

Mornings are always Busy and Hectic..and if they are monday morning, All The Best!!!

Came across such mornings yesterday and today!! (read another post for today's incident)... where i had brushes with many types of characters.

Morning started late, cos i slept late... upar se was in a hurry for reaching office on time!!! I usually have a regular autowala who takes me to the station (East)... [Reason for mentioning the exact location - read ahead]. He usually waits for me to be his first passenger, because (he believes) that i am lucky for him (Please note how luck changes according to his mood, whims and fancies). now whn i hopped into his auto, i told him 'Chacha (thts wat i adress him as), aaj West Station le lijiye, der ho gayi hai'. I had expected him to drop me to west station, simple because in past often i have agreed to get down in east even whn i have to go to west cos tht time maybe i have some free time to spare, and also considering or believing the fact tht he always wanted me to be his first passenger. To my disbelief he asked me to catch an other auto, saying tht he doesnt want to go to West. I was like ek din ka sawaal hai, he still refused. In utter Disgust, i got down and caught another auto. Wat Utter Rudeness.... Wat happened to his Luck Charm, and stuff (I Sweared not to sit in his Auto Ever).

At same Time on the same day, I was just about reaching the Bus-stop,whn I realised that my bus is just about to leave the stop. I Tried my luck by showing hand gesture, asking the driver to wait for a moment, so that i could hop in, (Though I wasnt even expecting him to look at me, forget stopping the bus for a moment). To my Surprise, He not only stopped the bus, but also allowed me to get in from the front entrance of the bus (usually in mornings the driviers dont allow passengers to board the bus from the front entrance)... How kind of him, God Bless him :)

How each day we come across characters, who bring us surprise and disbelief at the same time. I had expected the Autowala to drop me to my destination, which he dint. and I never expected the Bus driver to stop the bus for me after leaving the stop, but he did!!! isnt it the general notion that autowalas are decent and bus drivers are rude?? Well, keeping this incident in mind, I beg to differ!!!

Expect the Unexpected.......

Here comes another long weekend with so much hope, enthusiasm, and plans... and down goes the hopes, the enthusiasm and the plans again....

I dont know y do hopes and wishes never get fulfilled.... y dont plans ever get materialised...
In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal

Doesnt it happen with everyone of us???? Life plays such games with us... one cant even imagine...

Life gives u what u least expected, and refrains from giving you wat u expect....

It also gives us expected things at unexpected time and refrains again from giving expected things at expected times...

Again.... Life gives us unexpected things at unexpected time and it really does enjoy giving surprises...

Confusing and philosophical... aint it ?? but this is wat life is all about.... people willingly or unwillingly have to be prepared for life's surprises... Y cant life give us wat we want or wat we expect at the rite time....

I remember the quote : 'Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still. "

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Sad but True..................

I love you...... do I Really????????

Here the same guy goes again (remember the last blog?? )

One of the way ppl fall in love.. or so they believe especially when Someone loves them..

As in..

Raja loves Rani because Rani loves Raja..

Raja does not have a reason to love Rani but does not have a reason to not love her either.. so till the time Raja finds a reason.. he will continue to love her..

Also.. there is the ego and self appreciation thing because for the first time in Raja's life has someone given him so much importance and attention.. obviously... he is gonna fall for it..

The only thing in his mind will be rani...and slowly he would start liking the good qualities of rani and miss the stupidities that rani does... and one fine day.. he will realize.. he is in love...

Moral of story.. I love u because u love me and you are the only one who loves me but when ur love for me is not a novelty or someone else equally loves me.. my love for you will diminish..

Is it Really the case always??

Quick Compatibility Test!!!

Well, this is one such blog which i read recently on my friend's Blogsite ( http://www.bablus.com/bblog/ ) ... and liked it so much tht i pasted it on my blogsite. Its so true!!! Here it goes:


Quick compatability Test

Arrange marriage..
meeting one..
what do u do.. what do u like.. what are ur hobbies..

u have answers to all of this..now decide whether u have the right match...
seems difficult.. sort of.. suggesting a quick acid test.. go for a walk on a busy road preferably.. one with a divider and loads of traffic..now cross the road..

Note :
1. Dont hold each others hand
2. Dont look at each other, jst focus on the cars and try to cross the road..
3. Dont wait for the road to clear completely to cross.. cross while some movement of cars is on...if both of can cross the road together.. in between same set of cars... (difficult to explain)

u feel.. u have got the right match.. Have you really ??? Is that what arranged marriage is all about ??? Well Keep Guessing!!!

Namastey London!!!!!!

'Main jahan rahoon, main kahin bhi hoon, teri yaad saath hai….'

Brilliantly sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and excellently supported by Krishna, this is one of the most innovative songs of this year so far that I’ve heard. Everything is in good measures. A fine imagery from Javed Akhtar’s pen and as the song peaks , its as if the heart is crying for a love that is lost in the isolation of loneliness. A song worth listening many times over.

'Namastey London' is one such film that tells the story of a newly wed couple who belong to different ends of the world but are brought together by destiny to share a relation which is considered to be the most divine of all - the one of man and wife!

A movie which is worth watching, a movie which is full of emotions. This surely can be a movie for people who have fallen in love once and have sacrificed their love for wat-so-ever reasons, a person who has sacrificed in love.

A person who yearns for a company, who is tired of loneliness, who wants to come out of a relation, who wants to fall in a relation, go watch it…

Make sure of the company with whom you decide to go out with. Deciding to go out with an Ex may be a good idea but only if you want to get back together …. It might bring back fond memories, would want you to cry, would want you to come back in a relation.

And if you want to come out of a relation, plzzzzzzzzz refrain from going with ex’s or family…. Go out wid friends and chill!!!!

All in all ---- a good movie!!!
